Need OF Honest
Men.


The almost daily accounts of politi.
cal official corruption in national, State
and municipal governments, and the
numerous cases of embezzlement by
trusted employees OF private corpora
tons and individuals, would almost
give color to the oft repeated state
individual honesty. 1t would be strange
if this should be so in the face of uni
versal increase in the demand for hon
est men, for there has never, in the his
tory of society. been so great need of
public and private integrity.
Leaving out of the question all pub
lie officials, it is easily seen that in this
age of vast private corporations by
which the principal Industries of the
world are carried on, allSthe details of
the most enormous business must of
necessity be intrusted to employees. 1t
is no longer possible for the President
of the corporation or the proprietor of
the business to inspect the Operations
of his numerous agents and assistants,
for however carefully and sysematical-
ly affairs may he organized he most
important interests must be confined to
others, who are too often inadeauately
paid.
Nevertheless, men must be hnest
from principle. No mans integriN or
fidelity can be insured by an incrs.se
of salary. The man who has toa,e
paid not to rob his employer will Ne
sure to steal Whenever the opportunity
is afforded, and he will be one of th0s.
who treat their employers money az
if it were their own But there is
holy writ for warrant that it is not just
to muzzle the OK that plows the corn.
The faithful employee should share the
prosperity as we'll as the miSfortuues of
his principal. However this may he, il
is of the first imnoltance that the trust
ed employees should Themselves reeog
nize the dignity and valne Of an honest
nam" by uniting to defend the good
man who may be aspelsed, and to de-
nounce the unfaithful when proved
guilty. Every defaulter who is allowed
70 escape punishment casts reflection
on every honest man who occupies a
place of trust. There should be 4an mr.
mistakahle line Of demarcafion .bt
tween the good and the guilty. between
the moral sheep and goats. The guilty
men, who, through favoritism or in
flnence, go free and DO not forfei1 So
cial station. peFnetua'ly dishonor those
who remain faithful. The army of
true and devoted men who value their
good name and honor honesty for its
own sake. siould mite To build mp
great public sentiment IN this matter.
Men may as well combine to protect
their honor as to keep up wages. Why

Cotton Seed for Land,
Planters Journal

iduSC JDUFU4I.
ne low price of cotton seed is not a,
unmltIeated evil as many might sun
pose but may on the contrary prove
great blessing to our country.
The prevailing price of cotton seed
is RstsEsan five and six dollars per tor
st the landing or depot, which will
Leave two or three dollars NET Der fan
after deductirg the cost of handling or
hauling which is next to nothing.
The questiCu is, viii the planters mt
the, seed on their land ana there hy
make profit of ten to s,yenty. dollars
a ton on it. OF give it away for the mir.
lance of two dollars per ton.
We know that the miserable tenant
ana share systems Of farming in fla
South give the Iaborers a half or more
interest in the seed, and that their M
tural improvidence would cause them
10 sell at any price offered. This is al
sditiOnaliy so for the reason that the IA
borers have an impression erroneons
though it be, that is not incumbent ON
them to improve land not owned by
them. ~
Now is the time therefore. that tho
superior intelligence Of the landlord |
should assert itself on the vital subiect
and cause him to think twice and AT
very slowly before selling his seed at
such low prices.
